Once in a blue moon

This new year is going to be a very special one. Not only 10 million people in the world, including me, believes that the year 2010 is going to be a good year but there is a very wonderful fenomenon going to happen on new year's eve. The new year's eve blue moon! You know that saying once in a blue moon? Something that happens rarely, well we have waited 19 years for this to happen and for that we must celebrate it. Every 29 days the earth is blessed with a full moon and most years have 12. I love love love a full moon especially when it is midnight I can just sit by the window and stare at our moon. I always try and find new things on the moon and ever since I was little I see a man falling off the moon with his hands and legs wide open LOL. Do you see that too?
The blue moon will be visible in the United States, Canada, Europe, South America and Asia. Australia and Asia will have a January blue moon which will show on January 1st.
However the Eastern Hemisphere will experience a partial lunar eclipse on New year's eve. Only the Americas will not see this one. But hey don't get bumped, if it's alreeady dark were you are then look out the window and you will see the full moon almost there and don't forget to check the blue moon either today or friday depending were you are. Here it's already midnight so I tried to look outside and take a picture of the moon but too bad for me the sky is not clear. I hope tomorrow it will be clear cause I don't wanna miss anything. Here in Holland at exactly 20.23 we can see the eclipse. So in any case you are reading this blog before that time don't forget to check it.

In honour of this beauty I tried and created a look inspired by some of my favorite youtube guru's: Tiffany, Elle, Samantha and Joshua

I did two different eyeshadow looks. One is smokey that reminds me of the midnight moon and the other one is how I imagine seeing my first blue moon. I added some shimmer to my face which reflects the stars in the sky and kept the lips basic because we are focusing on our eyes.

Products used:
midnight smokey moon
- all over my eyelid and blending out to make a cat eye (avon shadow stix: arabian glow in sea blue)
- in the inner part of my lid (divine sleek palette: sunset blue shade)
- in my creast (same palette: black)
Blend to create a nice shape and decrease the hard edges
I also added at the end a little bit of copper all over the eye (sleek palette:copper)
- really tin line of black eyeliner (palladio: black liquid eyeliner)
- waterline (any black khol will do)

Imaginary moon
- inner corner (divine sleek palette: chaos dark blue)
- creast and rest of eyelid (divine sleek palette: sunset blue)
- highlight ( divine sleek palette: sunset baby pink)
- under eye a thin line (divine sleek palette: chaos aqua)
- white eyeliner YES (you could use any it will blend right with the color and become a neon blue line
- waterline (white eyeliner use a khol liner which will last longer)

Cheeks - Clinique bashful blush

Lips - nude lipliner and believe it or not H&M Rich Lipgloss in color me cute. It is my first H&M cosmetic and I must say I am impressed color stays long and is very pretty.

Here the pictures








Hope you enjoyed this and will have the opportunity to experience the blue moon.
2010 is going to be a good year with more peace, blessings and a lot of love to all.
